Purpose: Progression drills for the groundstroke for kids. Description: For younger kids use smaller rackets and foam or low compression balls. Start by pairing your players and having them align their rackets up so the strings of their rackets are facing each other. Use either a line on the court or smaller nets. to separate the players. Players then move back about two or three steps. One player starts with a self-hit to the other player over the line or net and players continue to tap up over the line real net and rally with each other. Safety: Ensure players are well spread out.
